Notes for Sunday Nov 18

Hi everyone!

Bravo!!! Your performance on Sunday evening was stunning in terms of singing, storytelling, and communicating with the audience. Thank you for all your hard work to make our pieces so polished. We are so proud of all of you (and Claire loved singing with you again!!)

As of this week, we dive into Unraveled rehearsal BIG TIME! This Sunday, we will be working through the blocking for Pull, doing detailed music work on the pieces with piano, and (very exciting!) we will be doing a full read through/sing through of Reverberations. We will bring copies of the script for you this Sunday. This should help you get a full sense of the piece, all of the characters, and how everything fits together.

We also wanted to let you know the results of the solo auditions. Thank you to everyone who auditioned - we have sooo many talented singers that it is always hard to choose!

In Autumn - Kallie (sop) & Tenille (alto)
Circle - Shannon (sop) & Mackenzie (alto)
Uraren besotik - Shila

We have decided to re-audition for One Voice solos since we have several people in the choir who weren't at camp. If you're interested, take some time to look through the piece and we will be doing auditions for that in a couple of weeks time.

For this Sunday, it is non-negotiable that your eyes have touched every piece of music for Unraveled. We have spent lots of time on the four pieces for We Remember, but now is the time to stay on top of everything else. Listen to the Soundcloud recordings and make sure you have a solid feeling for all the pieces. Although we didn't get a chance to work on them on Nov 4th because we got caught up with We Remember prep, we are still expecting Da Pacem and You are the New Day to be memorized as per the memorization schedule published on Sept 25.

Here are the songs for Unraveled grouped into the three pieces to help you get a sense of the overall show. It's also helpful to group them in your folder in this order so you start to get used to it:

"Wanting Memories"
You Are the New Day
Wanting Memories
One Voice

"Pull"
Les Angelus
Uraren besotik
Da Pacem

"Reverberations"
Pen-pen
Zai Itxoiten
Past Life Melodies
In Autumn
Circle
Nada te Turbe
Two Strings, but One Voice
Little Birch Tree
Tree of Life

Thanks everyone!!! Have a great week and see you Sunday!!!
